Hi, I am new to django.
I am following The Definitive Guide to Django SECOND EDITION by Adrian Holovaty and Jacob Kaplan -Moss and I cannot get the contact form to send mail. First the eg did not work at all until I added the @csrf-exempt decorator. Keeps getting Error 61 Connection Failure after that. Would be grateful if someone can help.
